Discosoma Mushroom Corals [Discosomidae]

Description

Mushroom corals in this family are often broad, fleshy, and come in striking colors—think reds, browns, and greens—like living umbrellas on the reef. Divers love watching them “breathe” and subtly shift, especially at dusk or when currents bring food.
